   I wonder what the Saudi commercials look like.

   Uhm.. what do you mean by issues? Is it me about my review or is it me embedding the video in my post?

   No need to be paranoid.

   The “issues” would be with using domestic violence to sell french fries. Obviously, it doesn’t even raise an eyebrow in Egypt but you don’t see that commercial running in the US.

   I know you liked the song but did you not see anything wrong with the actual content of the commercial?

   Exactly Michele – it is not about the song – it is about the action in the video – this would never be played in Canada. You could never do that in Canada or the US. There is not a single thinking woman in the West that would think that the commercial is appropriate.

   @ Michele

   oh ok, well I didn’t see that commercial that way. You are right about the violence, but we got some commercials here , in where I live, that show two people fighting for a snack or something. The idea that instill to the viewers minds though are not the violence the commercials show, but the funny idea why would two people fight over a certain snack. A hyperbole or something.
